The duo played out a 2-2 draw with Rafael Leao scoring the opening goal with himself right before the half time whistle but Esposito hitting back with two goals in the second half. Leao managed to equalise very quickly after Esposito's second goal with some quick passes and a vintage Ibrahimovic finish after slipping past the last man.
